Corona Geek #92 – Tools for Creating App Artwork
During this week’s Corona Geek Hangout, Corona Ambassador, Artist, and Children’s Book Author, Greg Pugh showed us a variety of tools he’s used for creating artwork for his apps. He also walked us through the process he uses to create custom art using Flash for his apps and interactive books. Greg has a playful art style and a laid back work flow that makes the prospect of creating your own app artwork a realistic goal. Even if you don’t want to create app artwork yourself, tune in to see what’s involved so you’ll be better prepared to work with freelance artists.
